#370: Can I Develop a Prayer Habit? With Jennifer Tucker
Have you ever noticed that even when your body is still, your mind is still racing? Worry, distractions, and endless to-do lists often crowd out the quiet we long for—and can make prayer feel impossible. But what if there was a way to experience both peace in your mind and presence in prayer? In this episode, author Jennifer Tucker invites us into the practice of meditation—Christian meditation where you focus on God’s Word, become attentive to His presence, and renew your mind by filling your thoughts with His truth. Not only does Jennifer share the physical, mental, and spiritual benefits of meditation, but she’ll also set you up with a simple, practical framework to get started. Plus, she’ll help you recognize how to know if you’re truly hearing from God as you listen for His voice through prayer. My friend, if you’ve ever struggled to still your mind—or if prayer feels more like a duty than a delight—this conversation will encourage and equip you. You’ll come away with the first steps to cultivate a more purposeful, peaceful prayer life, and with it, deeper intimacy with God.

#369: Can I Accept Myself? With Dr. Saundra Dalton-Smith
In a world that’s hyper-focused on hustle and productivity, many of us have been taught that our worth is tied to what we do. But what if being is more valuable than doing? Today on the 4:13, Dr. Saundra Dalton-Smith—physician, spiritual mentor, and coach—shares how to embrace a life rooted not in performance but in stillness, rest, and your God-given identity. With warmth and wisdom, she offers both scientific insight and biblical truth to help you separate the worth of what you do from the infinite worth of who you are. You’ll discover the connection between mental clarity and stillness, practical ways to build a “rest ethic,” and how to break the cycle of doing. Plus, you’ll learn how to recognize the warning signs of fear-based living so you can find the courage to be vulnerable and take risks. If you've ever struggled to rest or to stop proving yourself, this conversation is a gentle but powerful reminder that you are already fully known, deeply loved, and free to just “be.” SHOW NOTES: 413Podcast.com/369 Read the episode TRANSCRIPT in the show notes.
